The Danseys Pass Coach Inn is an ideal holiday location in any season. Whether you are a veteran lodge traveller or considering the Danseys for that special social event, conference or wedding, we invite you to join us at the Inn. We welcome you year round with comfortable rooms, inviting menus and friendly, hospitality everyday.

Danseys is one hour thirty minutes from Dunedin airport, one hour forty-five minutes to Queenstown and a comfortable four hours by road from Christchurch.

A range of activities are available from the inn and around the Maniototo including curling, skating, mountain biking, fishing (guide available), gold panning, clay shooting, tennis and golf. 4WD tours to surrounding mountainous tussock country (to snow line in winter).

Danseys Pass Coach Inn is located deep within the Kyeburn Diggings and has a colourful history traced back to the 1860's, when it serviced a multi-cultural gold prospecting community of 2000. Teamsters with their wagon trains plying trade between the Waitaki Basin and the Central Otago gold fields used the Coach Inn as a stopover when travelling on to the more remote gold prospecting areas of Central Otago.

Danseys Pass is 2000ft above sea level and the region boasts the most consistent weather and the second highest sunshine count in New Zealand. Hot, dry summers are followed by the long dry shadows and subtle tones of autumn with cold, dry winters and snow, contrasting block mountain structures that rise sharply from expansive plains. Danseys Pass Coach Inn is a meeting place with roaring log fires and country cottage themes in the rooms with locally made country folk art.

We recommend you consider staying several nights using the Danseys as your home, from which to explorer the historic localities of Naseby, St. Bathans, the Styx and Ranfurly, the South Islands art deco capital.
